Great excitement has been caused in the
vicinity Of Paris, Tex, by the remarkable
recovery of Mr.. J. E. Corley, who was so
helpless he could not turn in bed, or raise
his head; everybody said he was dying of
consumption. A trial bottle of DR.. Kings
New Discovery was sent him. Finding
relief, he bought large bottle and a box OF
DIR. Kings New Life Pills; by the time he
had taken two boxes of Pills and two bottles
of the Discovery, he was we'll and had gained
in flesh thirty.six pounds. Trial Bottles OF
this Great Discovery for Consumption rocts

The Northwest Watershed.

1t is TO one OF these geological
'might-have-becns? that / venture to
ask the attention of the section to-day
one which is the more interesting in
this city because upon it depends the in
terests-the very existence, may say
of Buffalo and its relation TO Chicago.
Buffalo is the outlet port of the great
lakes; Chicago, tho port at the head of
navigation. This relationship is not
accidental, but is based on geological
causes that existed before either city
was founded. 1t depends on the drain
age of the lakes. The four upper lakes
are most remarkable geological COM
bination. A large part of all the fresh
water on the globe is banked upon n
tableland five hundred or six hundred
feet above tho sea. The drainage, of
course, flows over tho dam ut the lowest
point, Black Rock, but by remarkable
coincidence there are two points almost
on the same level, Black Rock and
Chicago. The watershed behind Chica-
60 is but twelve feet above Lake Michi-
gan, twenty-five feet above Lake Erie.
The biologists OF Buffalo know that tho
land on both sides of Niagara river is
sequently dam twenty-five feet hign
across the river ut Black Rock woula be
sufficient to throw the waters Of the up
per lakes into the Mississippi by the
Illinois river. Tho most beautiful
stream on tho continent, the st. Law
renee, would be annihlated or greatly
reduced, and the dirty ditch of Chicago
would carry the tribute of tho great
lakes into the Father of Waters. Buffa-
10 would in that case be at the head of
navigation and Chicago the patural out
let port. On so slender thread do the
destinies OF these two cities hang.-E.

Immediately upon receipt of the
above letter Steele left Lafayette,
Ind, for Sedalia, arriving here at
$40 yesterday afternoon, and went
at once to the place directed. The
young wife stated last night to q
BAzoo reporter that she had paid out
over 5000 since she and White left
Indiana. She puts the blame of the
whole affair upon her mother, who,
her husband stated, is lying at deaths
door. And when mentioning this
fact he uttered the vul gar expression,
Cd her soul l hope she is dead by
this time" Steele says that White is
a noted thief and a railway "scab."
Mrs. Dillon landlady of the house
where White boarded, is minus
a board bill of SO but
will take steps to-day to get the same.
White went out on his regular run last
night to Kansas City, under charge of
Conductor Miller, and it is very
doubtful whether or not he will ever
show up in Sedalia again. Homer
Steele and wife gathered their earthly
possessions together and left on the
11:55 train last night for Lafayette.

The Letter That Brought The
Husband to Sedalia-COm-
plete Details.

Yesterday evening about $50
o'clock while the boarders were sit
ting on the veranda in front of Mrs.
Dillon's boarding house, corner of
Fourth and Massachusetts, streets,
talking about the events of the day,
there approached young man Lead
ing by the arm Mrs. White, who
came here as she said, with her hus-
band about six weeks ago she was
weeping and as the young man drew
near the house, he exclaimed in an
agitated manner, SIS there a man
living here by the name of
White" to which Mrs. Dillon
replied in the affirmative, "Well, this
woman here is my wife and that man
stole her from me; for proof of this /
have the marriage certificate"
The certificate showed that Homer
Steele and Miss Rose Ella Randel
were married at cambridge, Indiana,
August %, 1886.
HIS STATEMENT.
Steele stated that he had just ar
rived from Lafayette, Ind, in re-
spouse to a letter from his wife that
she had become tired of White and
wished to live with her husband
again. 81 went direct to where they
roomed and when 1 got there White
saw me, and as l come through
the front door, he jumped out at the
window"
1t seems that Steele is a railroad
brakeman and secured a position for
White on his father-in-law's farm.
There he came frequently in contact
with Whites wife, who resided four
miles from her fathers residence.
White became infatuated with his
young friends wife and began to cor
respond with her, and in short while
caused a separation between them.
Now his chance had come to secure
the apple of his eye, and
with words of promise that she should
live in luxuriant style, succeeded in
gaining her consent to an elopement.
The time appointed for the skip"
arrived and they were soon flying to-
ward the western horison disguised as
man and wife. They first went to
Springfield, ILL.,, thence to st. Louis,
then to Kansas City, where the young
truant wife began to show signs of re-
greet. From Kansas City they came
to Sedalia and engaged rooms
with Mrs. Staten on fifth street
boarding at the place above stated.
For a week past Mrs. White, as she
was then called, began to show signs
of discontentment and her spirits at
last became so low that, in her dis
pair, she sat down and penned the
following lines to her husband at
Lafayette, Ind.
